Default My CRV Build

Hello all. Here is my build threat for my 98 CRV that I bought from the original owner with 444,800 kms and I have every single service paper the guy had done to it. When I bought it, it was mostly stock.

The old owner installed a bull bar, and side bars, chrome mirror covers, vent visors (need new one as these are broken and missing one lol). Also came with ford probe rims and steelies with winter tires. Also cam with a aftermarket kenwood head unit and speakers with a amp.

I have changed some stuff on it and the list below is with what I've changed.

Removed:
-Bull bar (SOLD)
-Old audio system (SOLD)
-Probe Rims (SOLD)
-Spare tire and holder (Rim and tire has never been used once)

New stuff so far:
-3000K HID kit
-Function & Form Type 2 suspension
-17x7 RTX rims with 215?45R17 tires
-Kenwood double din head unit with built in navi
-Kenwood 200 watt 2 way speakers front and back
-12" Clarion sub and box
-1000 watt amp

Future Plans:
-New vent visors
-Retint the windows
-Engine swap (Have a 98 Spec ITR complete engine right now)
-Vinyl wrap to different color (Getting done very soon)
-Exhaust system (Getting done Soon)
-JDM front and rear bumpers
-JDM rear tail gate
-Tinted tail light (Getting done soon)
-Yakima cargo cage for roof (Got now)
-Lower tie bar
-Front strut bar
-Black housing headlight
-Clear front and rear side bumper lights
-Install LED lights in everything (Installed all exterior lights now)
-Intake system

So here it is when I got it home


And how it is now

What is the offset/backspace on your wheels? Are you running any spacers?

Yeah +40 lol. Don't know if I will run them yet, as once the camber kit is on, the tires will sit close to the fender lol.

I've been thinking of selling them maybe.

Yeah most people do want them. Pretty much no one around my area has a modded CRV, so why not.

Is your suspension pretty stiff? I tried mine at that height and it rubs like a **** when I hit large dips and bumps

No it's not. I have it set to full stiffness only because this suspension is for a Integra, so the extra weight I could not keep it on soft, but it's not bad at all.

It only rubs when I'm turning into a driveway or something like that, but it's just on the lips of the fenders.

What you need to do it cut some metal out from behind the inner fender at the top so it does not hit over the pumps.
